The Relational Intelligence Podcast

We all crave human connection, acceptance, and love but not all of us have learned how to relate to one another or even ourselves well. The Relational Intelligence Podcast (T.R.I.P.) is all about finding ways to develop happy, healthy, and fulfilling relationships, whether they be romantic, platonic, family, or work relationships. We'll have casual conversations about common relational obstacles and talk through ways that we can each individually do our part to present the best version of ourselves in our relationships.

Ep. 66: Should I Stay In This Relationship?

July 15, 2025 • Minjote • Season 3 • Episode 3

In this week's episode we discuss the dilemma we often face when looking to determine if a relationship is worth nurturing, maintaining, or releasing. While there is no guidebook to tell us exactly what to do, we can leverage biblical principles and our discernment to determine our steps. We share 6 things we can focus on to determine if we should stay in the relationship:

1. Focus on their heart (1 Samuel 6:17) - is this a person of integrity? Do I trust them?

2. Be equally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14) - are our values and beliefs aligned? Are we headed in a similar direction in life?

3. Associate with the wise (Proverbs 13:20) - are they making me more wise or more foolish? Do they sharpen me or make me dull?

4. Build each other up (1 Thessalonians 5:11; Galatians 6:2) - do they build me up and encourage me? Do they support me in carrying my burdens?

5. Connect with patient people (Proverbs 22:24-25) - are they easily angered? Are they patient with me, others, and even themselves?

6. Have fun together (Ecclesiastes 8:15) - do I laugh and enjoy life with them? can I be my authentic self with them?

Ask yourself these questions and allow God to reveal the path ahead of you 🙏🏽
